Yu Chun saw that Zhu Yuanzhang did not react for a long time and could not help but remind him in a low voice.
"Emperor!"
"Should we seal it now and hand it over to the Ministry of Rites to announce it to the world?”
A trace of anger flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's face when he heard this. He picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it over!
"I'm not dead yet, and you, a eunuch, can't wait to acknowledge a new master!”
These words were too harsh, scaring Yu Chun so much that he knelt down with a thud.
"Spare me, Emperor!"
"I don't even know how to read. I don't even know what the imperial edict is about!”
"This lowly one was just following the usual practice to remind the Emperor. I didn't expect to offend the Emperor's taboo, sob…"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared fiercely at Yu Chun. Seeing the other party's sincere face, he was too lazy to pursue the matter.
"Put down the imperial edict!"
"We have our own ideas when to seal it. We don't need a eunuch like you to tell us what to do!”
"Yes, sir!"
Yu Chun hurriedly placed the imperial edict on the dragon table and then retreated out of the hall.
Even after walking a few hundred meters out of the hall, Yu Chun's legs were still trembling.
It was too terrifying!
He almost lost his life just now!
Yu Chun had just turned a corner when he saw a little palace maid waving at him.
Seeing this palace maid, Yu Chun instinctively wanted to hide.
There was no other reason than that this person was the personal maid of the Crown Princess Consort of the Eastern Palace, Lady Lu.
Although Yu Chun did not want to bother with this little palace maid, he did not dare to do so.
The Emperor had revealed more than once that he was going to make Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson.
And this Crown Princess Lu was Zhu Yunwen's birth mother!
Once the Emperor passed away, the future masters of the Ming Dynasty would be this mother and son!
Therefore, even if Yu Chun was extremely unhappy, he still had to put on a smile and walk towards the little palace maid.
"Eunuch Yu, the Crown Princess is waiting for you at the corner gate!”
"Got it!"
Yu Chun lowered his head and jogged over.
As for the little palace maid, she continued to stay where she was, keeping a lookout for the two of them.
"This lowly one greets the Crown Princess Consort!"
Madam Lu enthusiastically helped Yu Chun up.
"No need for formalities!"
"Eunuch Yu has been serving Imperial Father all day long. It can be considered as filial piety for us juniors. I'm just a woman. How could I dare to accept your big gift?”
"Crown Prince Consort is too serious. This lowly one is just a servant who does odd jobs and cannot be treated with such high praise from you!”
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yu Chun, Madam Lu went straight to the point.
"Eunuch Yu, I have something to ask you.”
"Can the emperor seal the edict and when do you plan to announce it to the world?”
At the mention of this matter, Yu Chun felt aggrieved.
He took out an ingot of gold from his sleeve, raised it high above his head, and placed it in front of the Crown Princess.
"I'm sorry, Crown Princess Consort!"
"This lowly one failed to complete the task you entrusted me with. Please take back this gold ingot!”
Lady Lu's expression changed when she heard this.
"What happened?"
"But what happened?"
"I don't know either!"
"Today, when the Emperor returned to the palace, he was acting strangely. This lowly one merely reminded the Emperor to stamp the imperial edict and was almost beheaded by the Emperor!”
"He said that if I want to seek refuge with a new master, I have to wait until his old master is dead. I was so scared that my legs are still trembling!”
"Uhh…"
When Lady Lu heard this, she was so frightened that she could not help but take two steps back.
However, she quickly calmed down.
Now was the critical period of the fight for the throne. As the mother, she must not panic.
"Eunuch Yu is too serious!"
"The gold that bengong rewarded you, you just have to keep it well.”
"BenGong rewards you, originally not for this matter, but to thank you for helping us juniors to be filial by father's side.”
"No matter who knows about this, they won't let Eunuch say anything wrong!”
Hearing the Crown Princess say this, Yu Chun happily accepted the gold.
To be honest, he couldn't bear to return such a large ingot of gold.
The Emperor was extremely harsh on eunuchs.
Their monthly allowance was not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!
A few days ago, his family sent a letter saying that his younger brother had reached the age of marrying a wife and was short of money to buy a house and land.
With this gold ingot, he could help solve many problems at home.
"Then this one will thank the crown prince consort for the reward!”
"In our opinion, the Emperor went to pay homage to the Crown Prince today, and he might have touched on something sad.”
"When my mood is better in a few days, I will naturally announce the imperial edict to the world!”
"Putting aside the fact that the imperial great-grandson is sincere and filial, just based on the virtuous reputation of the crown princess, the position of the imperial great-grandson can't be taken by anyone else!”
When Lady Lu heard this, her heart calmed down a little.
However, no one dared to take this matter lightly until the final moment.
"Thank you, Eunuch!"
"If this child Yun Wen really becomes the imperial grandson, bengong will definitely tell him and let him think of you!”
When Yu Chun heard this, he was so moved that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to the Crown Princess.
This promise was worth more than gold!
If the imperial grandson succeeded to the throne in the future, it would be a great grace to keep him in the palace to serve.
Otherwise, these old eunuchs only had one path to take, and that was to go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the late emperor's spirit!
"This lowly one thanks the Crown Princess Consort for her grace!"
"Don't worry, Crown Princess!"
"This lowly one will serve the Emperor. No matter what news I hear, I guarantee to deliver it to the Crown Princess Consort at the first possible moment!”
Seeing Yu Chun's reaction, Lady Lu nodded in satisfaction.
She was a smart woman and knew what to use to win people's hearts.
At the moment, her biggest bargaining chip was not the ten thousand taels of gold given by her family, but Zhu Yunwen's position as the emperor's grandson!
Although the position of the imperial grandson had not been finalized, this did not prevent her from using this as a bargaining chip to win over the people in the palace to do things for her!
